Hey HN! I built Igloo - A private social media platform to share better with my friends and family. I wanted a social media platform that would give me complete control over whom I want to share with, down to a control over who sees a single post. I also needed it to be something anyone with 0 technical skills can download and start using, something that Mastodon and others could not provide.

FAQ : Is it open source? Not yet, I want to try making a business out of this, and if that fails I'll open source it

How do I support it? It's free to start, subscription to upgrade for more features

How do I trust it? Honestly, there's no reason you should. That said, the terms and conditions are clear that I don't track, there are no ads, and I don't have any plans of adding any cause I do believe in the subscription model.

Is there a web version? Still working on it, mobile only for now

I'm happy to take any more Qns!

Hey, nice job. I would really like to see this on the Web :).

Not usable on the web?

Not yet, still working on that. Wanted to get a PoC out before I go all in
